All America all the time. Sit down, buckle up, and get ready for the Dan Bongino show. A big hat tip at the beginning of the show to username is a good one. Bad old kitty. We don't know where that one's going. Bad old kitty donated 20 Rumble premiums to listeners of the show just now. Thank you very much. Rumble premium is awesome.

You get far fewer ads. That's really great. you to everyone in the chat who's been gifting forward, uh, Rumble premium subscriptions to people. I really appreciate you. I see it. I'm sorry I don't get to everyone, but there we go. Bad old kitty tearing it up. Folks, uh, we got a lot of show for you today. There's a lot going on, including I had said to you the other day that typically in every election of consequence, which this midterm is unquestionably, there's always a what they call in politics and October surprise. The Russia hoax. Someone comes out with a story that Donald Trump is really from Saturn.

It's usually something crazy. Good point, Justin. Bubonic, pneumonic plague. There's always some October surprise that happens that can tip the scales of an election the last minute. Sometimes it's, you know, it happens by chance. Financial crashes and things like that, you know, stuff that's building up for a while. Is what you're seeing in France, the riots and unrest, which is, by the way, not an accident, is this the October surprise we can see here? I'm going to explain it to you in context of a really dark day in world history, the anniversary today of October 7th, the dreadful attacks.

The beginning of the show, folks, I feel I need to warn you in advance, is going to be a little tough. And if it's not for you, I understand, The truth and getting it out there matters to me, not necessarily numbers. And I'm not saying you're not into the truth at all. I'm just saying it's going to be a little tough to stomach the beginning of the show. But I really think it's necessary because we can't let what's happening in France return here because it's been here before. And it's all planned.

That's why you saw Department of Justice action and FBI action on Antifa, BLM, SPLC, any group that's going to do what they're doing. you're going to see action by this administration, NSPM 7. The president is all over this. Folks, it feels like our country finally has momentum again with many of us fighting to restore common sense in America first. But we've seen this before. Conservatives sometimes get comfortable. Left starts taking background inch by inch.

We can't let that happen. America needs every one of us in the fight. A big part of that means supporting companies that stand for our values. That's why I'm proud to partner with and use PatriotMobil. Me and Paula both, Engie. Patreon Mobile gives you premium priority nationwide cell phone service on any of the three major U.S. networks

I'm telling you it should be a national security election. Now it's time. You don't wait for after the emergency to purchase emergency food and survival supplies. Don't do it. People are, you're damn right, I get prepared for things. Major storms threatening, you've got all the threats out there. They have this VESTA, V-E-STA indoor heater and stove. It's one of their hottest preparedness items of the season.

It's sold out again and again as people rushed to prepare at the last minute. That's why my Patriot supply created the winter prep bundle. to help you get ahead of the storm and ahead of the emergencies too. It includes 114 servings of emergency food with real meals you can count on. The vesta heater and stove, it's safe to use indoors, backup power with solar charging, emergency lighting, and thermal blankets. In other words, food, heat, power, and light already in your home before the emergency hits. And when you go to prepare with Dan.com, you can save $300 on the complete bundle.

Please go today. Don't wait until the forecast or an emergency sends everyone scrambling. Go to Preparewithdan.com, get your winter prep bundle when it's still available. Thank you, my Patriot Supply. Preparewithdan.com. All right, fellas, let's go. Folks, we're going to get into what happened in France and why this is not about France. Well, it's happening in France. Yes, it's happening in France. However, the unholy alliance of people causing massive street unrest in France yesterday and likely to continue today. This is not an accident, folks. It's not about school funding. But the media,

he said it's about school funding. It's never about school funding. Folks, the riots after the George Floyd incident, 90% I guesstimated the people who showed up there, 90% of people who showed up there may have seen the video and been pissed off about the video, but we're there for different reasons. The reason is never the reason with the left. You have to be very careful with them. They will use any crisis to destroy this country, the organized left. They never let a crisis go to waste, they even talk about it and say it. I bring that up because I'm really stunned, and I'll bring this up with Vince, he's our guest later today, Vince Colonais.

I'm really stunned that how when you take national voter polls on what people are voting on in the midterms, that public safety and national security doesn't poll higher. Ladies and gentlemen, it's the number one issue. We cannot have a 9-10 or October 6th mentality because there are people out there that would kill us in a second if we do not stay vigilant and thank the Lord never using his name in vain that the Trump administration is in charge right now and it's just not tolerating politically motivated violence anymore they're just not doing it they don't care who you are antifa bLM southern poverty law center they don't care you can look it up like that's what the first

antifa arrests and prosecutions in modern american history were done by this FBI and we were there I thought people told you nothing is happening they always tell you that because they want you to believe the administration sucks. They'll tell you that about anything. They're just liars and frauds and diaper wears. That's all they are. Folks, it is the anniversary of October 7th, another disgusting terror attack.

And I want to remind you of something I put out on X and say on my show often. Having spent a lifetime in both protection with the Secret Service, criminal investigations with the NYPD Secret Service and the FBI, and a year at the FBI as the number two, handling the biggest counterterror

investigations in the world, when you have a choice between the savage and civilization, you're never going to go wrong on the side of civilization. I want to remind you what happened for the apologists out there, as Al-Sayyad calls him, you know, some streamer from L.A. or whatever, as the apologists out there and the apologist in the Democrat Party want to tell you,

you know, some people did some things about 9-11 elsewhere and just want to make this stuff go away. This is what happened and we'll come here if we don't vote like it's a national security election too. I want to play, listen, this is really tough to watch. I strongly encourage you to watch it because you need to see it. And we were going to, this is the one with the translation, right? We were going to put the translation in, but I actually think you should hear. this is a young child in the middle of the October 7 terror attack and an Israeli IDF soldier is approaching the car and the young child is terrified and thinks it's a terrorist and finds out it's an Israeli soldier

and says please like save me and rescue my uh it was a baby in the car too a younger baby This is just hard to watch. Civilization or the savage. The choice is easy. Take a look. I was going to translate it for him. Just leave it. Just leave it.

Here's another video for you to in case you're any way confused about who the good guys and the bad guys are on this. Here's a video of young children who just watched their sister murdered, their sibling murdered. This is hard to watch, folks. I'm really sorry. They watched their sibling murdered. And they're just trying to desperately, like, figure out what happened with this terrorist

who then, I believe, murdered the mother or the father and took the, mother and these two kids hostage. Again, I'm sorry you have to see this, but sometimes in a war, savages versus civilization, you have to see the savagery to respect what we're really fighting. Take a look at this. I'm not saying, don't have to hear in life. No, there's, no, there's, no, it's, she'll have to. No, no. No, no more.

No, no. His sister, he's in there. My sister died. Relax. Deluxe. I said. Live to God. What?

He said, say, I'm gonna tell them, what? Nancy in the chat says, Don't look away. Nancy, I'm gonna tell you some. I put that in the show, but I had to look away. Matter of fact,

you know, we were doing pre-production for the show. And, you know, the Jasmine and the guys are in there. Gee wanted to just be sure we had the right clip. That's why we play him. Is this what you were asking for? And I said to Guy, I can't watch this again. I said, I'm sorry.

I saw it the first, but I just need you to see that. Folks, I need you to understand that this election matters. You've got people in charge right now that understand the savagery, the butchers we're dealing with, the grotesque Islamo-radical ideology that would wipe us all out tomorrow with a nuclear weapon or anything else. They'll chop your head off with a shovel. They don't care.

And there's another group of people that just think some people, people did some things. Folks, here's one more, just a reminder. Fox had covered this this morning, that there's one side that does everything it can to minimize civilian casualties in this human atrocity we call war. And there's another side, the savages, that do everything they can to maximize civilian casualties.

As a matter of fact, they prefer them. Those are the hard facts. Take a look at this. This is, of course, the Music Festival. festival. And you see the footage of the attack on a music festival. These are not armed combatants. These are kids, young men and women. Paragliders coming in, Hamas, demons. They're not animals. It's an insult to animals. Cross in the border as a festival goers ran and hid. You've got to be your go. Crying like, what's going on? What's going on? What's going on? As a bunch of demons are hunting you.

And the attack spread to communities. They are shooting into innocent people's homes, invading homes. There you go, taking people with young babies, killing them in the streets, taking them hostage, burning their houses down, firing mortars into their neighborhoods, rockets. There you go, shooting into portable bathrooms just to make sure anyone hiding is dead. Here's just a look at the carnage they left behind. 1,200 people murdered that day. 300 people murdered at the festival site alone. 250 people kidnapped, raped, babies killed, decapitated people, deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust.

Freaking savagery, man. And by the way, for those out there who want to apologize for these demons, you think it was just Jews who were murdered? What about immigrants who were in Israel, who were working in Israel, who were decapital? with shovels. Oh, you ever saw that video? I did. You know, many times I had to see it in the FBI, and I told him, I can't look at this anymore. Folks, there's a, you know, someone in the office had a birthday the other day, so everyone was here. And Jasmine and I were talking, and we're both people of faith. I mean, I'm not a preacher. However, we were talking about how

if you let the evil in your life and you expose yourself to evil people like there's a portion of your soul that just it doesn't recover it's almost like a sole bank account you just the withdrawals get to be too much it's why i try not to watch as much once you see this stuff that's what happens you lose a piece of yourself that's really hard to get back folks that's why i have done everything in my power to warn you to warn you that this growing wave of the oldest plague of the oldest plague of you on planet Earth of anti-Semitism is coming for you next. If you think your salvation is telling people, well, I'm not one of them, get those people first. You are those people. Having spent an entire lifetime studying the tactics of these people, in the security space to keep the president alive, and in the FBI and NYPD to keep everyone else alive,

they don't look at this the way you do. If you're one of these people who think, oh, it's those people just the job. Jews. I can't emphasize this to you enough. It will be your own death and destruction. Their entire modus operandi is first we get the Saturday people and then we get the Sunday people. If you ask them, they will openly tell you that. I never understood this, this strain of anti-Semitism. Like, oh, well, we'll get protection from the Islamo radicals if we just call out the Jews to. Good luck.

Folks, you're seeing this now with these black block members and elsewhere who run around the world. We've noticed you, thankfully, thanks to the Trump administration and NSPM 7, you haven't seen an outbreak of mass left-wing street violence since this president took office again in 47. National Security presidential Miranda 7, which enabled the FBI and elsewhere to go after political violence in this country. And we did. I know the Dumaers tell you otherwise, but that's their job. Their job is no different than the black block. It's to get you to destroy the country and do it willingly from the inside. I would not be surprised if as this MAGA movement spreads around the world,

as left-wing lunatic, Hassan Piker started freaking out about how he's looking at the election in Brazil and Bolsonaro, how this MAGA movement spreading everywhere. You have parties around the world rebelling against this, you know, open borders, you know, nonsense post-Mars. modernism environment, they're starting to freak out that the MAGA movement is in fact spreading. You're seeing doom and gloom polls. You're seeing money flow into the country to buy off influencers pretending to be on our side. This movement could come back here. And it is an unholy alliance. I used to say between two groups, but it's really three. Between the Islamo fanatics, the commies, and now what we call the Dumers in this country, who were really paid off

influencers trying to destroy our movement from the inside. The choice is clear. This is a national security election, whether you want it to be or not. What's happening in France could happen here tomorrow. It's more unlikely here, thanks to President Trump's crackdown on illegality and terrorism disguised as political activism, but to make no mistake, they have not gone away. And President Trump fully understands it. How do I know that? Because he said it on his true social account.

Again, the evidence is right in front of your face. The president gets the most amount of intel in his presidential daily business. brief than anyone. No one gets more. Here he is on truth. Just yesterday. What's happening in France is nothing less than out of control mass migration. This isn't about schools. It's about Islam wanting to take over a once great country. President DJT. You think he doesn't know? You think he's making this up? Folks, here's a Fox report of what happened out in France. As the three groups I told you, you about, who had to, David Harwood's, God rest his soul, called this out a long time ago. The Islam fanatics, the communists, and the doom and gloom crowd have the exact same goal in

mind. The destruction of the United States from the inside, and they use each other for that strategic purpose. They will latch on to anything, a criminal case, school funding, whatever they think they can suck you into their vortex of destruction they will do. Here's a Fox report in the unrest in France. Pay close attention. this could come here. Check this out. Because of the disastrous policies of left-wing governments across Europe over the last couple of decades, we are seeing scenes like this unfolding in France. You know, as you speak, it's akin to what I've been saying with the Jewish hate anti-Israel.

In some cases, pro-Hamas contingent that was on campuses here a couple of summers ago, Nile. And at that point, when we were seeing that, I called it a cultural. and a spiritual battle. You have now added on to that from what I hear you saying and saying that this is somewhat existential in terms of free societies and safe societies. It is. It is actually existential. Do you see what's happening?

This is why I cannot warn you and I wish I had a megaphone, although I don't want to blow your ear drums out, in any stronger terms, words, visuals, audio or elsewhere, that this leftist contagion of using a current thing, i.e. an issue that gets people's blood boiling, and then using it, using it for not their purposes,

but your purposes to destroy the country. This is an infection that's been growing in our movement, too, we have to cut out. Notice how we were told, actually put the Wall Street Journal thing up first. We were told by people in France to give this riot and this civil unrest some cover that this was all about, school funding and you're like oh i should show up for that too i'm a lefty i fall for the current thing i mean who doesn't like school funding and then you go there you go you know what go to the video

and go back to this i'm sorry then you see free palestine graffiti all over you see a bunch of people with you know black block here on oh look at that free i thought i was here for school funding how many signs do you need and by the way to graffiti some of it is in english that's for a reason folks, why do you think they would put it in English in France? Andrew, what's the language in France? He's like, I think it's French, right? Last time I checked. Oh yeah, free Congo's in there too. Again, they put the free Palestine and free Congo in English just to make sure that leftist suckers who fall for the current thing are, well, in the United States, we'll get suckered into this movement too. And you see it on the right. They'll do anything. They'll do anything.

They'll pick any criminal case, any issue, they can get some paid off sucker on X. And a bunch of people are like, yeah, man, I'm in for that. Destroy the United States. Don't vote. Here, they're pretending this is about school funding in France. It is about Islamo radicals destroying Western civilization. Period. Stop the sentence.

School funding, here's the Wall Street Journal. Politicians in Paris are in denial. The government last grant a fiscal surplus in 1916. and has annual deficits above 5% of GDP that become normal. Their debt stands, the national debt at 120% of GDP, revenue is inadequate to Paris's spending, despite, or rather because of high tax rates that extract 51% of French GDP every year.

You really think this is about government spending in schools? The French taxed their people more than 50% of their money and have run budget deficits forever or their national debt as a portion of GDP's worse than ours. By the way, even though their taxes are high, revenue is flat. Why? Because people are moving out. My point here is not to give you an economics lesson here.

This has nothing to do with economics. It is only about current thing politics, suckering people into a movement to trying to destroy Western civilization using any issue or vector to get there. School funding, health care. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Your love for lemons over limes, free the lemons.

They'll put the NPCers will go fall right in the trap. Folks, this is coming here. It's already here. You've already seen it here. You've already seen it here. If this isn't a national security election for you now, then fine. Vote in a bunch of Democrats who say some people did some things. You know, October 7th's no big deal.

9-11, we deserved it. for them and watch what happens as your country incinerates you'll be falling for the current thing too and thank you to everyone who sees through this all the patriots out there finally a lot of people who have been with us the whole time but fighting back vigorously on these social media platforms against this crap all right the folks quick break and i got a lot more to give because listen they're they're openly telling you what they want to do you just have to listen this video next should be really frightening to people.

Folks, there is a choice. This is a choice election. We cannot go back to an October 6th or 9-10 mentality. We can't do it. Your life is actually at risk if we do that. There are people in this country running under the

Democrat banner who don't even think 9-11 was a bad thing and who openly celebrate October 7th as some kind of, you know, victory for the demons. I want you to watch this clip. This is Caitlin Collins on CNN. The administration wants this guy out of the country. You've probably heard his story. Mahmood Khalil. He's asked a pretty simple quote. The guy's trying to stay in the United States.

You think the answer to this question would be easy. Hamas, of course, is a demon-savage, disgusting group of filthy, disgusting demons. Demon, disgusting. I don't even want to call them pigs because we eat pigs and I wouldn't eat Hamas ever. They're disgusting filth. Garbage, disgusting demons. Do you get my point? Filthy, disgusting demons, animals savages,

not worthy of human life. That's who Hamas is. Disgusting filth. Worst than like not even the value of a single-celled organism. He's asked a pretty simple question. Dude's trying to stay in the country. Like, hey man, like Hamas are like demons and terror group. This is even like CNN.

You know, pretty easy to condemn them, right? Listen to the answer to this guy. This is who the Trump administration wants out. The left loves this. They protect this guy's like a hero to them. You think this isn't a national security election? You better rethink that. Check this out. You were asked specifically to condemn Hamas.

You did not do so. Why not do so? Because they are not interested in my views about Hamas. This question is being used as a litmus test. But what's the litmus test, I guess? The litmus test is basically like, why would you ask me if I condemn Hamas? Why don't you ask an American official if they condemn the U.S. government for killing over 80 girls in Iran or any Israeli official for their crimes in Gaza.

This question is only being used to ask Palestinians as a sort of, you know, if you say yes, just say yes or no, it's a black and white. That's why it's not about refusing to condemn Hamas. It's about refusing the whole premise of that question. And that's why as a Palestinian I refuse. I want to get into the root issues of these issues. I'm a Palestinian. I believe in a in a free Palestine where every person between the river and the sea, regardless of their faith, of their background, lives with dignity, with freedom, with justice, with equality. It's as simple as that. But this administration is trying to dehumanize me. And these type questions are, to me, are silly questions. They wouldn't get us anywhere. That's why we refuse to

answer such questions. I don't even know what to say. Where do we start with this, guys? He opens up the interview, by the way, saying that no one's really interested in my opinion about Hamas trying to make. They just asked you your opinion about Hamas. They just asked you that question. We want to get to the root causes.

Yes, so do I. The root cause is you support a bunch of demons. Disgusting human filth. Disgusting human filth. Devils. You support them. That's kind of a problem. because they want to kill us because they're demon terrorists.

And suckers are falling for this? I love you said. No one ever asks Palestine. Well, number one, Palestine is not a place, okay? It's not a real thing. The free Palestine, it's a fabricated narrative that this was some kind of independent country that was somehow stolen from people.

It's a fake story told to suckers and NPCers who fall for it like the Borg from Star Trek thinking with a hive mind. And suckers fall for this. This is a never-let-a-crisis go to waste mentality. Folks, there is a massive extinction burst by the left, trying right now to fight back against this spread of this MAGA idea around the world. Insert whatever country there you want. This guy here, Hassan Piker, the streamer from L.A.,

who's again like an apologist for these. guys. He's worried about it. He's no way to combat this maga thing. These guys are spreading maga all over the world. Yeah, we know. This is what they're doing. And they're taking advantage of three things I see the most. These leftists and leftists trying to incorporate the Dumers into their movement too. They're taking advantage of economic uncertainty in the era of AI that a lot of young people are understandably nervous. So they're susceptible to narratives, the narrative de jure, Palestine, whatever it is. Even had that dumb-ass country singer, what was the same?

The Zach guy, not the good one. To free Palestine. He didn't even know what that is. So economic uncertainty, they're taking advantage of open borders to bring people into the country to foster unrest and culture clashes. Zach versus Zach Brian? We got to make sure he get that right because there's a good one there. And then culture clashes around the world.

they're taking advantage of these three things to sucker leftists into this movement do not let this infection take hold in our movement folks this is a national security election do you want serious people in charge who understand the growing threats out there out of control a i nuclear weapons proliferation bio weapons attacks or do you want sleepy joe biden kamala harris aOC Pocahontas and Bernie Sanders in charge. That's your choice. That's your choice. He was Rand Paul.

He's a doctor. He was on Fox yesterday. Talking about the situation with the plague in Russia. I'll talk about this. Vince had an interesting guest on about this. I'll talk to him about this coming up in a little bit. However, there is a balancing act here. We are not doing COVID hysteria again.

We're not doing it. We're not falling for every single media narrative out there. everyone's going to die, put a mask on your three-year-old. We're not doing that. However, it is serious. The plague is serious. Can be fatal if not treated. But Rand Paul brings up an interesting point here.

We should take really seriously. And he's been on the COVID thing for a long time, too, the COVID hysteria. That's why he's very concerned by this, especially given his medical background. Folks, if this were purely a case of pneumonic or bubonic plague, that is, they are both treatable with antibiotics. If this researcher was working in a lab working on these things and got sick, then it would be fairly obvious what they got sick from, and there would have been a treatment. So why did the woman pass? I don't think the Russians are telling us everything, and I don't think that's a breaking news headline. I think it's fairly obvious. There's some angle to this.

You know, we're not sure of, and the president's getting really pissed, President Trump, because he knows they're not telling us everything. He called out China early. He's doing it on Russian out, Listen to Rand Paul. This part concerns me a little bit. Check this out. You have a reason to be concerned? The gain of function was employed that this was plague souped up from a lab. Well, I'll tell you one thing that's very disconcerting about this is that a book was written in the last year called Biological War, a scenario. And what happens in the book is a lab in, in, out in the east part of Russia, leaks a Likas, the plague. and it goes on to infect the world within days. Now, that's not what's happening,

but it's disconcerting that this scenario was written about a year ago because people are worried about it. The plague itself happens naturally, and there's a couple of hundred cases a year that get it. Most time, treatable with antibiotics. In this case, wasn't. But it is alarming that they're not saying they've cultured anything. If she died from an overwhelming infection of the plague,

they should be able to culture the plague from her blood or from her lungs or from some tissue. And the question is, did they, or are they just not telling us the truth? We do know from defectors in the 1970s and 80s that they were weaponizing the plague. So we do know that. And so it is concerning. And I think we should be doing our due diligence by looking at satellite images, looking to see what their military is doing. At least in the press reports that are unclassified, it looks like some people are insinuating.

There's more activity than you would normally get for one case of the plague. which makes us concerned, could it be weaponized? Yeah, that makes me concerned too. However, sadly, people have zero faith in institutions. People have really lost faith in government. I think President Trump's gone a long way to rebuilding that. However, understandably, a lot of people aren't there yet. I get that.

Believe me, I get that. I feel you. It's going to take a really long time to reestablish 20 or 30 years of destruction in your institutions, your Pentagon. your FBI, your DEA, everything. People don't believe anything anymore. The WHO. You think anyone wants medical advice from the WHO anymore?

Polsters who've told you for decades now. Republicans suck. Everybody hates Republicans. Everybody hates Donald Trump. And yet the pollsters continue to lose over and over and over again. On Election Day, one of two people is going to lose. Either the pollsters or the GOP, maybe they're right. Maybe they're not.

I don't know. You show up and vote will win. You don't will lose. That's it. But folks, I can tell you this. all of the Dumer, pollster, left-wing media narratives meant to influence you to sit at home and not vote or even worse, vote for the Islamof-Fanatics,

the Dumers, and the commies. Everything they've told you about the national security situation is wrong, is absolutely wrong. They told you about the war, the strait, the Iranians have just dominated the straight. Oh, my gosh, they embarrassed President Trump. That's not with it. happening. I'm not telling you yet at all. I cannot be clearer on this. If I've said this a thousand times, I'm beating the deadest of dead horses. I'll beat it again, this freaking horse, because yes,

you are perfectly entitled to your opinion. We should not have gone to war with Iran. I don't believe that based on the data, but that's a perfectly, you know, valid opinion to have. However, look at this tweet. This guy, this guy, Andrea Steno-Larsen, the U.S. has basically won the Battle of Hormuz. I'm just giving you the facts. Gulf oil exports are back to near pre-war levels. The raw market's fine. It's just a fact.

Again, if it doesn't influence your opinion, it's okay. Maybe you just don't like other reasons we went to war with Iran. That's fine. But I'm just trying to give you data so that you can make an informed opinion, form an informed opinion, even if it's not mine. That's okay. Here's Javier Blanche. loss on X. Iran's national security advisors warn that the rapidly deteriorating economy has plunged

the country into one of its most difficult periods in its history. Folks, it's just happening right now. And the freak out is so bad, there's the article right there, that one of the Iranian police officials in charge of like the economic police, this is a translation you're going to hear. Here's Hasin Rahimi threatening to arrest people who report government data on inflation and the economy in Iran because it's really bad. I thought the left way, this is the craziest thing. I thought the left wing media and a domer's told you it's all over. We've surrendered the straight. The economy in Iran is doing great. They're doing fantastic. I thought they told you that. Maybe you should tell the Iranians is who are arresting people

telling the truth about the economy. Check this out. There are certain websites based abroad that are announcing these inflated illegal rates, which, you know, they're true. true nature is obvious. These people are hostiles, and they are enemies of the Iranian people. But our real grievance is with the domestic websites. These websites operating inside the country under what permit and with whose approval are they actually doing this. So based on a directive from the Honorable Tehran prosecutor, we're set to start cracking down on this today. meaning any site that goes ahead and posts these fake inflated rates should know for sure that

serious judicial and police action will be taken will be enforced against them. This is so unbelievable, man. This is unbelievable that people in the left wing meter are buying this. You're allowed to have whatever opinion you want sending our troops and soldiers into a combat scenario is by nature very dangerous. I'm glad people think this thing through with their sons and daughters. I'm proud of you. I really am.

For whatever that's worth. I understand the threat. I may have a different opinion than you, but I respect your thoughts on this. However, what I'm not going to, what I never respect is lying about it. Because it's just not true that this thing has been some total loss.

The Iranians are doing just peachy fine right now, sitting back eating ice cream, smoking cigars. None of that's happening. A generational threat to the United States that have actively killed our young men and women, thousands upon thousands of them, war theaters and terror attacks, has been completely, completely castrated. Folks, I think a lot of this freak out, too, the media freak out. The Trump wants to blow up L.A. and San Diego hoax,

which was like to find people hoax, which I covered on radio yesterday. and the peacefully and patriotically thing. Remember when they made a blah? President Trump told you to burn down the Capitol. This is a response to data. The data about this election, the numbers, the actual numbers. Forget the polling for a second. Polling are hypothetical numbers, okay?

They are. They're hypothetical turnout numbers about what an election would look like. That's what polls are. Actual early vote numbers are not in any way supporting this narrative that there is some tidal wave of blue coming across on election night. Here's Seth Keschel. We've had him on the show before.

He's a really excellent follow on X. He's at Real S. K-E-S-H-E-L. He's like, hey, man, it's really interesting how these poll defenders are now discounting early vote and mail analysis where we have actual numbers. He talks about North Carolina.

The trend is nowhere near a blue wave. How Florida. They're not talking about a blue wave in Florida. Poll just came out today showing the Republican candidates at the top of the ticket up by five or more. Arizona, you can read it right here. These are actual numbers, not polls.

Reinforcing what I've been telling you, that anyone's suggesting this is a fait accompli, this is over, forget it, sit at home, forfeit the country to the Islam fanatics, the Dumers and the commies, is doing it for a reason. They want this place to burn to the ground. They want what happened in France

to happen on a bigger scale here. Texas, I did Texas is turning blue. Could we lose in Texas? If you don't show up, we will. I'm just going on the numbers. Here's Kessel again. Here's some facts about Texas. It's five points right of 2016,

eight points right of 2020. The Latino vote at minimum is 10% stronger than 2016 across the board. He goes on and on about the TalaFrico Paxton race, how the numbers just don't support this narrative. If you show up and bring 10 people, We'll be okay. If you don't, we'll lose. Folks, here's another reason they're freaking out.

The early voting numbers do not look good for them. The rapid spread of voter ID, I wish it was everywhere. I wish we have the Save Act. We don't. I think it would have done great for it. We don't have it. I wish we did. But there's no reason to sit at home.

We've got to keep trying. I'm not giving up ever on voter ID. It is the raison d'etre for this program. Okay? If we secure our elections and do what conservatives should do and enhance and support and promote conservative values, we'll never lose an election again. They're freaking out too because the Trump administration, President Trump, is cracking down on voter front. I thought that nothing is happening. People told you nothing. I know, folks. That's what they do. They want to lose. Okay. I can't emphasize this enough. Here's Cash Patel, FBI director.

American elections are for American citizens, period. Here's four more arrests, four more. There have been a multitude of these things. Four non-citizens in Philadelphia have now been charged with illegally voting in a 2024 election. According to the charges, they knew they were not U.S. citizens and voted anyway. The FBI and HSI investigated and how they're facing federal charges. If you knowingly violate our election laws, expect law enforcement to find you. Again, I know it doesn't.

matter to people. Here's a release from the U.S. Attorney's Office case you think Cash just woke up a morning and made it up for more people in addition to the cases we covered last week and a week before that. Now do you see why the Dumers and the Democrats are freaking out? None of their arguments are sticking. There's a blue wave. The numbers don't back that up. Nobody cheats in elections. The numbers don't back that up either. The Duma's nobody's being arrested for voting in Elections League. That's not happening. Like nothing you're saying is happening is happening. And you're supposed to sit at home. You want France. here? Folks, this is a national security election. There's a reminder every day. I put this in the show

yesterday, this post from Bill Malugian, excellent reporter of Fox. He covers a lot of immigration, illegal immigration and immigration stories. He put this up yesterday, and there's been an update this morning. You want more of this? He says he's told by DHS sources. Two suspects wanted for attempted murder in the stabbing and robbery of an off-duty NYPD detective. are both Dominican illegal aliens who were caught and released at the border by the Biden administration, and both have lengthy criminal histories in New York, including an ignored ICE detainer. You want more of this? The update I heard this morning that these two suspects, thanks to cooperation with the great U.S.

Marshals and the NYPD, were caught. You want open borders again? How is this not a national security election? You have a choice coming up. It is not a choice between two perfect parties far from it. However, it is a choice between a solid national security record and a party that provides safe harbor for people that think we should live in a 9-10 October 6th ecosystem

and that all these things were just something happening that some people did. Rewind the show, man. Watch that video in the beginning again. Tell me you want that here. Tell me that's, tell me evil's not real after watching the beginning of today's show. I know it's hard to watch. It's hard to watch for me. I couldn't even watch it in pre-production.

Folks, you also have people on our side. I saw this. I really enjoy the Wall Street Journal opinion column. I've been reading it for a really long time. I like it. They have a pretty wide range of writers. And even people I don't agree with, I read their stuff. And sometimes we'll put it on the show and openly disagree.

There was an op-ed by Peggy Newton and I enjoy her writing. It just doesn't think like I think on stuff. But she was hitting President Trump pretty hard for what she, I think portrayed as him downplaying the threat from AI or superintelligence as they call it now. Again, I, listen, I'm not here to apologize for him. I don't think that's what the president is doing at all. The president is a transactional guy. I think what the president is doing is doing the opposite of that.

I think what he's doing is telling you, like, hey, the Duma crowd telling you the world's going to end tomorrow, have factored out American ingenuity and the willpower to make this thing good, but safe. I think that's what he's saying. And I think when you read his comments in context, you'll see that. And also, we always bring receipts, receipts incoming on this one. If the president is not taking super intelligence and the threat seriously, then why is he doing this with his director of national intelligence? Jay Clayton, check this out. Trump is taking a light touch approach. Actually, he's made it crystal clear.

The U.S. will not slow down in the AI race against China. The president has formed a new super intelligence force to make sure we, Americans, maintain the edge. He named Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton to lead the effort as chairman. The Wall Street Journal listing the complete task force now. There will be three vice chairs, a few of the other members, Vice President J.D. Vance, Treasury Secretary Scott Besson, and Secretary of War Pete Hexeth. Justin's like hand and palm. I enjoy your writing, Ms. Noonan.

Respect. However, that's just not correct. The members of the task force, Justin, the real backbenchers, Vice President, Secretary of War, David Sachs. I'm obviously being sarcastic. It led by the DNI, the Director of National Intelligence. I'm really sorry, but that doesn't speak to a guy

who's not taking the threat of out-of-control agentic work in super-intelligence, artificial intelligence. That doesn't sound like that at all. These are not backbenchers. These are top-tier members of the executive branch of government and the private sector. Folks, this, look at this. Look at this ringer team they got here. Oh, yeah, Vice President, Vanceon, Pete Hanksett, Sacks, Condi Rice,

Amil Michael from Department of War, Jay Clayton. I have no experience. Come on, man. Come on. I mean, for real. Does what they do matter? Or does what speech completely, I think, out of context, matter more? Folks, this is a national security election.

It's been the theme of today's show. You want some more evidence? Here's another receipt in coming. Do you want a part? Let me just ask this question up front. I'm serious in the chat because you get some leftist trolls in here. Whatever, you're welcome. Do you believe that?

that if all else fails, the government, federal law enforcement, state law enforcement, local, tribal, territorial, if all else fails, that you should be able to arm yourself to protect your family. The answer is, because everyone raised their hand, everyone believe in that. Okay, there's one. Andrew, you're not raising your, oh, he's paying attention. Okay. Keyes lost to the day.

Yes. Please in the chat. American flags are a Y for yes. You believe in the Second Amendment because in the end, I'm not putting my safety and security in the hands of anyone but myself. You come knocking on my door. Thank you in the chat. Absolutely. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. A lot of American flags. Yes. Hell yes. F yes. A lot of yes is.

Tear it up. Tear it up in the chat. Burn the chat down as we always do on the show. We love that. Yes. If you are a Hamas demon, an evil, disgusting piece of filth, coming on my door with you.

I'm shooting back. And you should too. You're going to vote in Democrats who openly want to disarm you in your family, understanding the very real threat that's out there. Man, that chat, we can tell. Nobody tears it up like you are. Nobody. They're not a chat on planet earth that can do that.

You want an administration in charge that is pulling unnecessary red tape and stupid laws off the books that prevent gun owners from buying the firearms they need and want to protect their own families? or do you want the Democrats that are going to come in and arrest you for owning a firearm they don't like? Folks, there's a case here's O-A-N covering it right now. There's a case in the Supreme Court right now. You better pay attention to. What's the definition of an assault rifle?

Let me provide a little cheat sheet for you in advance. Only the Democrats use that term. Republicans only use it to debunk it. An assault weapon is whatever the Democrats think is a scary looking gun. And really what it is is commonly owned rifles. in the country people used to protect their family. That definition is up in front of the Supreme Court now. You vote wrong.

You're in a lot of trouble. Check this out. So here's their portfolio. This one is a case called Viramontes versus Cook County, Cook County, Illinois. And it has to do with banning what they call assault weapons, assault weapons. But nobody has really defined what an assault weapon is, even in this day and age. So nobody really knows for sure. Nevertheless, Cook County wanted to ban them.

Mr. Viramonte has wanted to possess. such a rifle. This is one of those seminal producing a precedent, most likely producing a precedent here in this session of the Supreme Court. One that's on the Second Amendment is whether or not states can ban AR-15s and semi-automatic weapons. And a couple of the courts have said, no, you can't do that. So you're protected by the Second Amendment. The other courts have said, yes, you can ban that. So the courts are going to hear this case. And I think they're going to rule in favor of the gun owners here because the standard that they set in the Heller case and other cases is that is this weapon

in common use? Let me explain you what's going to happen if you vote Democrat in this election and you're a gun owner and you decide to sit this out. They are going to pack the Supreme Court as soon as possible. They've already told us this. They'll add, how well, many more judges, four more, whatever they need to do to put four liberals on the court, there will be a lawsuit immediately, no matter how this ruling turns out, and the new four liberal judges will overrule the case and say an assault weapon is really scary and they should all be banned. Guaranteed, guaranteed. An assault weapon means, yes, exactly. Any weapon, they'll be like an exacto knife will be an assault weapon.

anything they can do to disarm you. They only want guns in the hands of the state. I don't want that. I worked at the FBI Secret Service in NYPD. I am the biggest advocate against a overpowering weaponized government. And the best way to do that is to have an armed population that can handle their own personal security. Ridiculous.

You want more evidence it's a national security election? Folks, the Chinese counterintelligence threat from the Chinese Communist Party is like nothing I've ever seen before. It is great. They are in our universities. They are trying to pretend to have like local police departments, that police dissidents here. We've seen cases like that up in New York. They are trying to steal anything they can get their hands on. Military information, commercial information, you know, information on everything from computing to AI.

It is the biggest counterintelligence threat we've ever seen. So NPR, of course, puts out a hit peace against this FBI. Because they want, again, they want to get the Democrats in who don't take the Chinese Communist Party seriously. Instead, they love them because they love communism. So FBI rapid response, how to correct them. NPR has some anonymous sources saying that somehow the counterintelligence threats being minimized.

Here are the numbers. There's the article right there. As Trump focuses the FBI in immigration, counterintelligence is falling behind. Totally completely made up. I lived it. You're just making that up. 101 counterintelligence arrests up 63%. 1,500 counterintelligence task force personnel expansion.

Zero major security incidents at America's biggest events. We hunt spies and PR hunts anonymous quotes. Results beat clickbait every time. It is a national security election, folks. I'm not minimizing the economy either. The importance of the economy in your everyday life. You know, I have an interview coming up with Vince in a second. Our economy is national security.

You can't build a military. and well-funded police departments, you're not going to build them without the funds and the tax base to do it. However, even if you're voting on the economy, the media is lying you about that too. Yes, we have problems. Diesel prices, you know, inflation far better than Biden,

but still, you know, there's always room for improvement. However, when you take into account all the data, which I'll get to in a minute, folks, the economy has numerically, on paper, has not been on a better trajectory in a long time. Here's a Kobe-assi letter. the S&P 500 is now worth the record 71 trillion, up 24% from its March 30th low.

How does that compare with the rest of the world? It pushes the total market cap of the U.S. stock market above 82 trillion. That's seven and a half times larger than China, the world's second largest stock market, and 28 times larger than Germany. I'm just giving you the numbers, man. The doomers and gloomers will tell you otherwise.

All right. I got Vince Colon Ace coming up. I haven't done a Maha moment in a while, make America healthy again. You know, I love these. I'm a big health hacker. So I love to draw some information out there. Some people ask me in the chat.

I'll get some emails. Hey, Dan, when are you going to give us some more health tips? I saw this interesting study about creatine the other day. And a little note of caution. However, I'm a huge, huge, but check with your doctor first. If you have any kind of issues, I don't know that. I'm not your doctor. I'm just telling you what I do and I've had amazing results with.

Creatine is one of my go-to. staples. I hardly go a day without it. Interesting study from our Make America healthy moment today about creatine. I'll throw a little water pun intended on this. However, interesting creatine data notes Max Marchione on X. Women with depression who added five grams of creatine a day to their SSRI with twice as likely to be depression free after eight weeks. 52% versus 26% on SSRI plus placebo. It's one small trial. That's kind of thing, about 52 women, but very promising. There was also some other data about creatine

that showed enhancements in muscular body weight, taking creatine, even in contrast to people who worked out, there wasn't really controlled for that well. And some of that may have been intracellular water, in other words, not bloat. However, I'm just telling you, I'm not smoking you up, man. Creatine just changed your life. I obviously, Brickhouse Nutrition is one of our.

sponsors, but I'm telling you it, they have foundation. I love it. It'll change your life. I take it every time. I can't miss. Even when I go on the road, sometimes I'll leave some of my supplements behind, not creatine. All right, I got Vince Colon Ace coming up in a minute. First, we got our comment to the day. You know, we have our 1776 club once a week. We give away $1,776 to a lucky listener review. You just got to be there live. 10 a.m. Eastern Time, rumble.com slash bongino or download the rumble app. If you want to see the official rules, go to Bonjino.com slash 1776. Our comment of the day today is old 18C. I have fought them on three continents and we'll hear if I have to. Amen, brother or sister. I'm with you, man. I'm in that breach with you.

Thank you. Makes me feel good that there's so many good people out there who are with us in this fight. 44,000 people here fill in a stadium every day. It's good to be part of this. I got a killer interview or Vince coming up next. Vince Colonization. We're going to talk about all this, so don't go anywhere. Quick break. Hey, in three months leading up to the 2024 presidential election, the spot price of gold jumped over 12%. Why? Gold is a hedge against uncertainty. The midterms are here. The stakes are high.

Message and data rates may apply. welcoming to the show for his biweekly appearance, our good friend, the King of morning podcasting. Vince Colon A strongly encourage you to live stream his show 8 a.m. Eastern rumble.com slash Vince, check him out. Radio stations nationwide noon to three.

Vince, welcome back to the show. Always good to talk to you. Thank you. Dan. Always good to be here, brother. So listen, I have been dying to get your take on this. I haven't spoken here on the phone a bit, but this is not when you just, I'm just basing it on polls and data. This is not a national security election.

When you ask people their top concern, if you did it after the atrocity, the horror of 9-11, number one or two was national security, terrorism, understandably. So you don't really see that. I mean, it does rank in some polls, you know, top 10, but it's not a national security election. The argument I was making earlier in the show, and I'd love your take on it.

It should be because it's clear at least, and I don't want to stigmatize every Democrat. I don't want to do what they do to us. There are clearly Democrats who don't want, want to die in a terror attack. Obviously, okay, point stipulated. However, as a party, if it was a club, club, Democrat, a club Republican, there is zero doubt that there is no home for terror sympathizers on the GOP side and witnessing what's happening in France yesterday, today with this unrest. This should be a national security election. Yeah, no question. And in fact, actually,

economic concerns are also national security concerns. So when people say that they're concerned about energy prices, inside of that is also a huge national security concern. Where do we get our energy from? Is it a reliable source? Are we dependent on foreign adversaries for whether or not the price goes up or down? These are all national security questions. I mean, Dan, we live through COVID. We learned a lot of national security is wrapped up in the economics of the United States. So every election fundamentally is actually in many ways a national security election. And you're right. I mean, when you look at what's going on in France right now, a place that's opened its borders. It has all of these sort of communist influences pouring in. You can even see it in the

rioting. They're wearing the same sort of black block destructive uniforms as we've seen in the United States in 2020. They're burning down buildings. It's completely out of control. That is a national security concern that should be ever present in the hearts and minds of every American citizen. What do we keep voting for? Sovereignty. We vote for secure borders, secure communities, and every election we should keep doing that. Right. And the data speaks for itself. Listen, I get it.

I'm tied to the administration. I work there. I'm proud of the work we did there. But, you know, I've been gone for six months. It's not about me or what we did. It's about what ERO did. ICBP, DEA, U.S. Marshals, local police departments, state police departments.

I mean, President Trump prioritizing public safety and national security, you know, taking out FTOs, foreign terror organizations, drug cartel boats. I mean, this is stuff that was never done before. And the data really does speak for itself. I just, I candidly just wish, you know, on a 9-10-type atmosphere that we were thinking more like 9-12, because it is important to have a party in power that takes this stuff seriously.

Speaking of the election, you know, there's going to be one of two losers in this election. It's either going to be pollsters or the GOP. I don't know what's going to happen. I tell people all that if you show up or win, if you don't show up or lose, elections are not mysterious at all. I can't use this analogy enough. They're not soccer games where, like, you know, your best player got sick the night before.

You can control elections by just voting. And if you bring 10 people with you, we'll do okay. However, the predictions are from the left are absolutely dire. I covered earlier in the show the data, early voting data, doesn't marry up with these dire predictions. But you're seeing races, you know, Cook's political report, moving races all over the country, even in red states, to Dem, likely Dem, you know, Leans Dem.

These are really disturbing trends, but someone's going to be a loser, either the GOP or the pollsters. No question about it. In fact, this came up last week in my interview with the Vice President when he was talking about the final Iowa poll going into the 2024 election. You'll remember that there was a pollster there by the name of Anne Seltsor. She had the Seltsor polling group. And they whiffed, I think, by 13 points. He was considered the gold standard. holster in the country. And it wasn't like she was surveying the whole country.

She was just surveying Iowa. I forgot that. Folks, please. I'm sorry, I try to never interrupt you when you're on a roll, but please like stop what you're doing if you're watching on demand and go look that up. Seltzer, Paul, S-E-L-Z-E-R, I think it is, not Seltzer like the drink. And go look at up. The miss was just horrific. I'm sorry, Vince, go ahead.

It was catastrophic. And everybody was like, well, holy crap, because it was being used because it's Iowa. being used as a bellwether for the entire election. People were like, oh, okay, obviously, Kamala is going to win this thing. And then obviously Kamala did not win this thing. Donald Trump wins. Yeah, there it is. It wasn't 13. It was 16 points. Good job, fellas. They looked at it up for it. 16 point miss. And she was considered one of the best. So your thesis that the pollsters might miss by catastrophic margins is well, well, well established because this has happened over and over and over again. In fact, CNN's numbers enthusiast,

Harry Enton, I know you played this clip on your program, he's been talking about like, guys, like Republican support tends to overperform the polls with every passing election, especially in the Trump era. So this should give, I think, Republican voters cause for, to basically buoy their confidence a little bit that this is achievable. Now, I always operate from the perspective, and I know you do too, that you should play like your one or two points behind. play like you're the underdog, play with aggression, get everybody you know to the polls and actually win this thing because it's not over until it's over. But I just, Dan, one more thing, and I know I was monologue when I give you answers to these questions, so I apologize for that.

No, that's where you're here. No, please. I just think that I'm judging the left based on their behavior right now about how they feel about the election. Forget the media headlines. I think that there's a desperation in their behavior that I'm witnessing with every passing day. James Talafriko is trying to convince you he's a normal person. You've got up in, you've got Abdul Al-Sahed trying to convince you that he's never even heard of Hassan Piker. You've got in Texas this morning, Axios just ran this audio of Ken Paxton, secret audio of Ken Paxton being asked like, hey, what do voters care about when you talk to them? And he says on the secretly recorded audio, he goes, they care about the war and they care about gas prices. I'm sorry, what?

That's a scandal? What's the country? Talafrico is literally name-dropping his favorite drag queens and saying that the energy industry needs to be destroyed in Texas on secret video. Meanwhile, this guy says that voters care about gas prices. I mean, it's so obvious that Democrats are desperate here. They're literally inventing scandals that Donald Trump wants to nuke Los Angeles because they don't have a real case against the president and his agenda. their desperation is cause for my celebration. I love this.

This is all a big red pill to me. So again, it's a real fight, but I'm feeling encouraged by how lunatic they are right now. Yeah, that headline about, you know, Donald Trump secretly or openly fantasizing about nuking L.A. and San Diego was so ridiculous and over the top. I agree.

It does speak to a certain hysteria on the left that maybe the early voting numbers aren't what they thought they were. But on the polling miss topic, I have a theory on this, and I'd really appreciate your thoughts on it, too. Especially being in, you know, having a significant presence in D.C. on the radio at WMAL, where you and I both worked early on. That's like the belly of the beast for consultants, pollsters and elsewhere. So you hear things from people over there and, you know, by osmosis and stuff. But I have this theory, and this is not a knock on working class Democrats.

So if you think that to now, now because it's not true. I'm not saying. I'm just saying Republicans, as they've moved towards in. the more populous Trump era, a more working class oriented party. And by the way, that's across race, gender, and elsewhere. You know, blue-collar workers were traditionally a Democrat staple. I don't think that was great for us. I think the messaging was off. However, it was true. That's not the case in the Trump era. I just don't think Republicans in mass have time or interested in spending 20 minutes on a poll on the phone with people. And I think a lot of Democrats who hate Donald

Trump just want to air their grievances. Oh, yeah, I'll tell you how bad he sucks. And I think that's why you consistently get this polling miss. You know, your thoughts on the reasons behind that. I think you're right. I think Democrats, on average, are enthusiastic about telling people how psycho they are. I think that that's a thing. And meanwhile, I think conservative voters are not that interested in constantly

browbeating everybody else about their politics. They're going about their lives. You know, on this point about whether or not we might insult a working class Democrat, I'm not sure you can because I'm not sure they really exist anymore. In fact, like the Democrats are sort of a party of the super rich college educated and the super poor government dependent. Meanwhile, like the rest of the country, kind of conservative voting for Republicans. President Trump is responsible for that. He's restructured the American electorate.

And a lot of those voters who do have to work for a living and or do have to get paycheck to paycheck in order to make things work, they're so interested in feeding their families that oftentimes they don't get to the polls at the rates at which Republican voters were expected to in the past when they were the quote, country club Republicans. So getting our people to the polls has never been more important, never been more important, and also registering Americans who are not yet registered to vote has never been more important for the success of the Republican Party. In fact, Dan, you'll remember in the last election, 2004, do you notice Democrats gave up voter registration drives? They don't do that anymore. There's no more voter die. There's no more, you know, whatever the vote operations were. there's nothing like that because they're scared the more Americans they genuinely registered to vote

the more that Donald Trump's agenda is actually going to be voted for that's an amazing point you know I think a lot of the audience that's roughly in our cohort forgets when you and I were growing up Vince you know MTV was still a thing it's really not a thing anymore I mean it's still there but MTV when I was growing up was the thing like every teenager who was born in the 70s early 80s. You watch MTV. MTV used to have the voter die or whatever. It was their thing. And that's a really great point. I hadn't really considered that. Yeah, you don't really see that anymore because I guess they are concerned that they're registering actual Republicans. They've gone in the complete opposite direction. Actually, I think there was a Washington Post report

on that subject during the 2024 election that Democrats were, it was backfiring. Their voter registration drives were backfiring. They were registering too many Republicans. So they gave up on voter registrations. But meanwhile, you notice they're heading in the complete opposite direction. Their view is, oh, actually, now we can't have any security to our elections whatsoever. No photo ID. Troy Jackson just said this last night in a debate with Susan Collins. Troy Jackson's like, we don't need any voter ID anywhere.

So an actual Democrat nominee for Senate, his position is your vote should not be protected and it should be open to be stolen. Like, this is crazy and it should be a wake up call to every voter. Yeah, that's not a tenable position in the same voting environment. I'm not telling you, like, oh, the unfortunate thing is, you know, voter ID and election integrity tends to be a top issue for the GOP and conservatives and libertarians. Sadly, it is an issue. I mean, even Democrats, a majority, I believe, the Democrats do support voter ID, but it's nowhere near as high it is on the GOP side. And that's really a shame, because if you don't have fidelity and faith in the system, nothing else really matters.

I mean, you don't believe in anything, and you see this faith in institutions disappearing. That's actually a good segue to a topic. I know you covered on your podcast. Again, you can check Vince Colonase out every day live at AM Eastern at rumble.com slash Vince on demand anytime. One of my favorite shows. Vince, you discussed this morning this outbreak of, or I shouldn't even say outbreak, but the plague in Russia.

You know, after COVID, speaking of loss of faith in institutions, people around the world, not just here in the United States, are growing increasingly skeptical of the healthcare community in general. They have WHO. You may trust your local doctor, but when it comes to government guidance on this stuff, they were so betrayed by COVID, they don't believe anything.

So there's a balancing act here. Like clearly plague is serious and knowing that it may have emanated from some Russian laboratory that may have been involved in some gain of function research, it's definitely a cause for concern. Especially given how the facts are murky and you can't trust the Russians about, anything ever. But, you know, Americans are just not going to fall for fear, doom or porn again,

either, you know, pull the kids out of school, lock yourself up in the basement. There's a balancing act here. Well, you know, it's enough to make you a conspiracy theorist about everything, the way that our government institutions have betrayed our trust over and over and over again, which is why people are so skeptical. I talked to Dr. Robert Redfield this morning, the former head of the Centers for Disease Control. And it's funny, Dan, I said on the show, know, I think if there's one person on planet Earth who is more adhering to the don't get dead theory than Dan Bongino, it's my wife Allison. Allison's like asking me last night. She's like, she's like, what's going on with the plague? Is the plague coming? Are we all going to die?

And I'm like, well, I have a guest on it. She's like, who's your guest? I'm like Robert Redfield. Who's he? He's the former head of the CDC. Can I, is that enough for you? So we get Robert Redfield on this morning. And I ask him about this and he says, okay, here's the thing. We just don't know. The reality is we don't actually know what happened. He's suspicious. He doesn't think that this is the pneumonic plague. And the reason for that is think about the setup here. This woman's working inside of an anti-plague laboratory. There's allegedly some kind of accident. She gets sick. Now, if you were working in an anti-plag laboratory and there's an accident and then you start developing symptoms, what would you do?

You see your doctor and you'd immediately get treated and you'd be like, I think I might have plague. Like you would immediately go after that? She didn't. She's dead. And they keep telling us like, hey, antibiotics are the thing that would resolve this quickly if you move quickly after the symptoms start appearing. So something weird is going on there is a lot of mystery wrapped up in this. Another piece of this is like if you follow the history of these types of diseases spelling out, it turns out a lot of government laboratories have leaks. This happens a lot, a lot. And we've got governments all around planet Earth who are either developing these these souped up viruses as a mechanism to try and study the virus. which is very stupid to do. It's never actually resulted in a benefit for humanity or because

they're making weapons. That's a thing too. The bio weapon development is a very real thing. So you've got governments, including Russia, no doubt, who are playing with absolute fire. So at this moment, I think normal people should look at this and go, you actually don't know what the hell is going on. That's a perfectly reasonable place to arrive at. And the thing I'm going to look out for is any government official who steps forward with that kind of humility. Like if I get a Scott Atlas who pops forward or a Marty McCarrie who comes forward or like a guy like Dr. Redfield, people who are willing to admit, you know what, we don't know everything. It's okay to say that.

That's the kind of person you should trust. If somebody steps forward and says, we do know everything and you have to get rid of your liberty in order to address this, they're lying to you because they don't know everything. That's a lie. That's a fine point. Like the Great Barrington Declaration folks who took great risk of their careers and reputations to speak the truth about COVID, Badacharya, Jay Batachari and others. Those are the people who've earned our trust in the space because they, I mean, their careers were nearly destroyed.

Thankfully, President Trump got elected and people started opening their eyes about it. But you brought up an interesting point. I played a clip of Rand Paul earlier in the show, of course, a doctor himself. And he brought up something that you would discuss with Redfield that's critical here. That shows you that, hey, something may be awry here. It's concerning. I mean, it's no reason to, you know, crap to bed, as I say, but it is a reason to definitely get the antenna up. There was, if the woman, the researcher in this lab in Russia, got sick researching the plague,

there probably wasn't a mystery what happened. In other words, like, if your kid comes home and says, you know, mom, my throat is scratchy, your first thought is what? COVID, maybe the flu, RSV, the cold, you know, strep. I mean, these are just common respiratory and other viruses. that happened. Your first thought, matter of fact, not your thousand thought isn't like, let me bring her to an infectious disease specialist and get tested for the plague. Like, no one's going to think that. However, if you're in the lab, like studying the plague and you get sick

after an incident, it's fairly obvious what it is. And if the antibiotics, the doxy and the other stuff works like we've seen it work in the past, the woman should not have gotten dead. That's a critical point here. Yes. And also, but this specific, Dr. Redfield told me that this a specific thing isn't even highly transmissible. So pneumonic plague, it's not the kind of thing. If it is pneumonic plague, it wouldn't be the kind of thing that we should be concerned about, really, in the United States at this point. So having said all of that, like, yeah, I just think that like Occam's razor dictates that something a little bit more crazy is going on than Russia's letting on. And in case there are people you do trust in this conversation, let's say the Trump

administration, President Trump himself is not satisfied with the answers he's getting. He just indicated yesterday. He's getting on the phone with Vladimir Putin. He's going to give everybody a big update today. And then subsequently, I saw the Wall Street Journal had a report that the U.S. government, no doubt with Marco Rubio and others, is placing pressure on the Russians and going, you're not being forthcoming. You've got to answer some questions. And now. So the people we do trust are demanding answers. I mean, President Trump knows. I mean, he called out China before anyone called out China during the coronavirus initial outbreak when the whole diamond princess and everything was going on. He's like, hey, man, they're not telling you the truth. And the media was

like, he's a racist. I mean, it was just so embarrassing. The media is just such clowns. And again, and I remind people, can I remind you of something, though, Dan? Do you know why the media was so against him addressing COVID at the beginning? The answer is because it was during the impeachment. They were trying to impeach him. So the whole news cycle was dominated by impeachment. So when Donald Trump steps forward and goes, hey, I'm shutting down travel from China, they were like, this is a joke. This isn't real. You're full of crap. You're a racist. It was because of the impeachment. That's why the media was so obsessed with stopping him at that point.

Yeah. And it's, I mean, it's obvious. You know, we laugh about TDS, Trump derangement syndrome, but it's real. I mean, there's a, the Trump counterpoint is the media position. Now, whatever Trump says, you know, Trump says the sky is blue. They'll be like, no, it's not. The sky's, you know, whatever. They'll make a sharp truce.

Like, they'll make up a color. But you see it also now with the economy. the media's take on the economy right now is borderline like criminal, like what they're doing. I mean, really, I mean, obviously hyperbole here, but the fact that they have instilled in the American psyche, this collective left-wing media, that this is somehow a worse economy than Biden, despite data, you can just look up yourself. I'm not even asking you to take my word. It's not trust me, bro, stuff.

Look up the jobless rate, lowest in decades. the poverty rate, lowest in modern American history, median household income, how much money we're all making, the highest it's ever been. You've got equities markets doing well. The bond market's high. Yeah, inflation's not great, although nowhere near the Biden administration. Obviously, fuel prices and fertilizer impacting some farmers. However, do you want to go back to a Biden-era economy where they didn't give a damn about farmers? All they would say in a farmers was, hey, here's a bunch of government handouts, screw everything else. I mean, this economy, in a number of metrics is at numbers we haven't seen in a long time.

Some places we're struggling, but a balanced perspective would dictate to the American people that we're definitely on the road back to economic recovery. And they've done such a good job gaslighting people. People just don't believe it. I know you've been covering this at length, but I do feel like we're in a moment in American history where the news has never been more distant from reality.

It's just so obvious. Like if you go down the list as you have, with the poverty rates being record low, childhood poverty rates being record low. No more, we're at the highest level of American employment in the history of our country. We have the most Americans employed we've ever had. The U.S. government is shrinking.

We've shrunk by over 300,000 federal government employees. The private sector is growing. All the job gains are going to native-born Americans, not to immigrants the way they used to be under the Biden administration. The household income numbers are really great. That's true. And if your concern is energy prices,

why would you give power to the party that says that they want to destroy the American energy industry? Like it's ludicrous. The whole the whole concept is like, oh, Donald Trump isn't being good enough on energy prices. So give power to the people who want to destroy coal, oil, natural gas, diesel. No, of course not. That's so insane. And just saying it out loud as a reminder that like, no, you're saying and the media is lying to you about all of this. The president's got a really wonderful economic case to make. He's got a wonder and he keeps trying to to make it. I saw him even doing it yesterday, trying to tell the media. And they're on these like nonsense like snipe hunts, like constantly trying to create scandals where there are none.

I just, I would just say like, if you ever like look at the media and you're like, are they, are they right about this? No, they're lying to you. And the president was right to kick a bunch of these outlets out of the White House. They're nothing but smear merchants, not interested at all in the truth and not standing up for why the First Amendment was enshrined in the first place, which is to tell the truth. Yeah, the economy thing. really it crushes me because I really sincerely, deeply in my soul, believe we are on the verge of a massive economic renaissance in this country. And it's a number of, it's not just AI and like data centers and compute. People tell you, that's a huge portion of it, equities, markets,

and elsewhere. But you've got electricians, you know, pulling in massive amounts of, you know, 250K a year. I just saw an interview on a local news station. And the guys, trying to talk down to the electrician. He goes, hey, man, well, I was told these jobs are all temporary. And he goes, like, knucklehead, all of my jobs are temporary. We go in, we build a house, but, like, what are you an idiot? Like, obviously,

you're a journalist and not a blue collar worker. I don't know if you saw it, but that's, we were on the verge of something huge right now. Yeah, that's the nature of the trades and contract work. It's like you go to the next job, and he's happy to have a job, and he's happy to get a paycheck. And that makes, that makes a lot

of sense to me. You know, there was, last week we got unemployment date unemployment was up a tick and if you just looked at the headline number you're like oh that's not good unemployment's up a tick but then you look under the hood and you're like oh that's because more people are getting back into the job market that's huge that's a that's a positive 500 000 people yeah so you want this so why would we arrest this kind of improvement that's all that's the only point it's like it was it was a disaster under Biden we were being absolutely murdered as a country economically and in some cases literally by the people he allowed into this country. Why would you want to arrest the dramatic improvements we've experienced?

That's why I just don't buy the polls. But as I said, someone's going to be wrong on election day. I know you'll be with us, Vince. We're looking forward to it, the election night special.
